The reference to Botticelli at the beginning, sets a classical tone for the piece. This is such a special work. Thank you for sharing this.

Your line, "though the woman's heavenly body- had once been likened to that of a love goddess" sets her stage so magically. A very nice poem, and a sweet tribute just for her.21 Witshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00071361755673253230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7335697599281687572.post-24516996700876500632012-08-14T06:12:28.578-07:002012-08-14T06:12:28.578-07:00Very nice description of her untimely passing ~ I...Very nice description of her untimely passing ~ I specially like the last stanza ~ Lovely share ~Scarlethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03330793338813508704noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7335697599281687572.post-61388132520582508012012-08-14T05:24:10.185-07:002012-08-14T05:24:10.185-07:00"A paper shroud."
